Patent number: 8806677Abstract: A pedestal bed base uses four corner assemblies to connect side and end members without the need for fasteners or tools. Each corner assembly comprises only two plastic pieces which may be secured to the side and end members of the pedestal bed base frame in a snap-fit manner and secured to each other. The corner assemblies enable a person to assemble the pedestal bed base quicker and less expensively than if such assembler had to use tools.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2013Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: Robert A.

Patent number: 7917975Abstract: Our invention is related to a pop-up bed frame. Aspects of our invention include a bed-frame positioning assembly for raising and lowering an upper frame in a controlled manner. A bed-frame positioning assembly generally includes a set of scissor arms that is operatively coupled to a biasing member. Force exerted on the set of scissor arms by the biasing member either opens or closes the set of scissor arms, thereby either raising or lowering an upper frame coupled thereto.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2009Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: L & P Property Management CompanyInventors: Robert A.

Patent number: 7503529Abstract: A clamp assembly for securing a pair of overlapping cross support members extending between two opposed side rails of a bed frame is provided. The clamp assembly includes a unitary clamp body, a leg assembly pivotally secured to the clamp body and a locking plate pivotally secured to the clamp body. In order to prevent the cross support members from sliding relative to one another, the leg assembly exerts force on the overlapping cross support members. The leg assembly may comprise a first leg pivotally secured to the clamp body, a plastic insert and a foot member. Alternatively, the leg assembly may comprise a first leg nestably secured to a second leg in order to increase the length of the leg assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2006Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: Robert A. Bartelsmeyer, David W. Stroud

Patent number: 7437783Abstract: A bed frame that can be assembled without the use of additional tools. The bed frame generally comprises a pair of spaced side rails, retainer brackets secured to each side rail, and cross support members extending between the side rails. Each retainer bracket has a base section for supporting one of the cross support members and an aperture extending through the base section. The apertures are aligned with threaded bores in the cross support members so that threaded portions of respective leg assemblies may be inserted through the apertures and used to secure the cross support members to the corresponding retainer brackets.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2005Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: Joseph M. Navarro, David W. Stroud, Robert A. Bartelsmeyer

Patent number: 6101647Abstract: An adjustable bed having an upper frame mounted to translate with respect to a lower frame. A center support is connected to the upper frame and has a head support pivotally connected to one end thereof. A thigh support is pivotally connected to the other end of the center support and a foot support is connected to the other end of the thigh support. First and second motors are operatively connected between the upper frame and the head and thigh supports to pivot the head and thigh supports with respect to the center support. The upper frame is linked to the lower frame so that as the head support is pivoted up, the upper frame is translated toward the head end of the bed, thereby maintaining the head support at a relatively fixed position with respect to appliances and furniture adjacent the head end of the bed.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1998Date of Patent: August 15, 2000Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: David W. Stroud, Paul E. Pottschmidt

Patent number: 5894614Abstract: A bed frame center support assembly comprising a pair of parallel cross support members extending between two opposed side rails of a bed frame, a center support member extending between the cross support members and at least one leg assembly pivotally secured to one of the support members. The leg assembly may comprise a first leg pivotally secured to a vertical web of one of the support members, a plastic insert and a foot member. Alternatively, the leg assembly may comprise a first leg nestably secured to a second leg in order to increase the length of the leg assembly. A threaded foot is adapted to engage a bracket integrally formed in the bottom of either the first leg or the second leg further increasing the vertical adjustability of the length of the leg assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1997Date of Patent: April 20, 1999Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventor: David W.
